Took me long enough to leave feedback on this, but I agree with everybody. It is an adorable story. I love the different types of letters, and how you manage to capture the personalities and writing styles of many different people. I really enjoy the way you make Superman answer his letters. You make him sound as a person who is honest and forthright and who isn't quite used to writing - nobody would guess that he is in fact a journalist, that's for sure!
Thank-you for asking me questions that are so different from ones reporters papers around the world ask me all the time.
Thank-you! That's funny. That is not the absolutely correct way of writing it, I think, but it is perfect for the public image of Superman!
To answer your questions, I don't have much time to watch tv these days, but when I was much younger I enjoyed watching the Flintstones. My favourite colour is Red, which is probably why my Mother made my cape that colour.
Superman writes "tv" instead of "TV", and "Red" instead of "red"! Funny! But of course, that is how the boy whose letter he replied to used capital and lowercase letters.
I love how Superman answers questions, but volunteers no more information than necessary. Though I wonder what the boy made of the fact that Superman used to watch the Flinstones when he was very young. I wonder if the boy is imagining Superman as a little boy watching TV dressed up in a kid-size Superman suit!
Because that is how he comes through, Superman through and through. And that's perfect here!
